Alien Bees CyberSync

This small hotshoe mounted flash trigger transmitter responds to the camera sync signal and sends the radio signal on one of sixteen selectable frequencies (Banks). The use of selectable frequencies helps to eliminate interference signals. Other systems use a single frequency and merely vary the encoding to determine operating channels or banks.

Battery life is in excess of one year in typical use. There are no wires or cords involved as the transmitter simply slides onto your hotshoe and is always ready to go. Transmitter is $59.95 and Receiver is $69.95. Alien Bees website.

Yet another in the field of remote triggers, but it looks a lot better than the cheapo units for sale on eBay. Click here for a review posted on Strobist.com
